Shirt.Woot

wax on, wax off...

I don't get it?

Well, I'm laughing + I actually mostly like the simplistic design so two points there.

It's a funny design, but I've stopped wearing red shirts ever since a friend of mine had that horrible accident in Star Fleet.

Karate Kid.

Comic Sans... the combo of two jokes. But that font that large still hurts me.

Maybe I should have been a reference librarian?

Since my real name is Daniel do I get some sort of discount? (Guess my last name)

Pat Morita is rolling over in his grave

I'm one of the Comic Sans haters, but I have to admit, the write-up had me rooting for it a little. Keep fighting the good fight, little Sans!

I'd totally buy this if Daniel didn't have hands or feet.

The vibrant red of the shirt almost made me overlook the fact that the back of his head has been turned into a plum.

His foot makes the l look like a t. Daniet.

Wax font, wax off.

It uses a Sans Serif font! That's all kinds of graphic designer funny!

i snorted so hard i blew snot! in for 1

Come on guys.

Michael Ironside rule = if Michael Ironside is in your sequel, it doesn't count. EG "The Next Karate Kid," which totally didn't count, even though it brought us future Oscar winner what's her name.

Because if Michael Ironside is in your sequel...

Comic sans, even.

Cuz it's a joke. Comic.

...and the name of the font.

Unfortunately Comic Sans is the bastard child of fonts, and makes Times New Roman cry.

That said, this shirt bugs me too much to buy--I pronounce sans as rhyming with cans, and Daniel-San would rhyme with pawn.

Yeah, what gives?

Does Daniel have a tail? What is that bump in his trunk? No wait, I don't want to know..

+1. Oh, shirt.woot, you have planted many a strange thought in my head, but I NEVER thought you'd find a way to make me sympathetic to Comic Sans!

It's the bottom of the shirt part of his uniform.

bluetuba wrote:Does Daniel have a tail? What is that bump in his trunk? No wait, I don't want to know..

Clearly that's the bottom hem of his tunic... and clearly, whatever odd thoughts shirt.woot has been putting in my head, they're not nearly as weird as the ones in yours! ;-)

Wow. I never thought I would see as simple or direct a color name as the one in today's writeup. Or am I just missing a joke somewhere?

Sweep the leg!

As typography geek AND martial artist I appreciate this shirt. We made many jokes at poor Comic Sans' expense in past web design classes. Then we ended up using it in our final design... So, Comic Sans, as long as you're used minimally, an in good taste, I got your back!

Oh I see, that's what happens when you remove lines I guess!

Hey, wait... why no witty color description? Just "Red"? That's boring. How about "Mr. Miyagi Came From the Land of the Red Rising Sun"? Or "In Most Styles of Karate, Only a Grandmaster Can Wear a Red Belt"?

Okay, I admit that neither of those are particularly witty, but at least I tried to be creative. As an added bonus, I just proved to myself that I spend waaay too much time on shirt.woot...

As a typography geek, it doesn't bother you that Daniel has serifs?

thought I'd seen this design before...
Congrats on the print

Karate Kid for the NES was always a favorite game of mine as a kid (for whatever reason)

Epic play thru video

I don't see any serifs. Are you referring to the placement of Daniel's feet on the L? That doesn't bother me. *shrug*

I don't get it. Daniel Without? Daniel sans-serif fonts? And why karate? I am confuzzled.

Aww, I'm sorry, wootstaff. I didn't mean for that to sound so harsh.

I refuse to apologize to WootBot, though. Damn slacker.

Does someone want to catch me up on why Comic Sans is so hated? I've known for a long time that it was, just not why.

Ha ha. Very punny.

"Get him a body bag.... YEAH!"

Why is the back of his head gray?
Oh, it's because Ralph is old now.
